NNA - Outgoing Prime Minister Najib Mikati's press bureau issued a statement on Thursday denying media institutions' allegations that accused Mikati of delaying the arrival of the plane carrying the bodies of the Indonesian boat victims.
Miakti's bureau said that Future Movement's institutions have been promoting incorrect news to vent political hatred.
"The Lebanese authorities, upon Mikati's orders, rented a private jet to transport the bodies of the victims from the Indonesian authorities to speed up administrative procedures and ensure the arrival of the plane during the day," the statement said.
